Former VP addresses some 3,000 members and activists of the Iranian resistance
Former Vice President Mike Pence on Thursday visited the headquarters of Iran’s largest and most prominent opposition group to show his support for the Iranian people as they continue to oppose the Islamist regime ruling Iran.
Pence addressed some 3,000 members and activists of the Iranian resistance, 1,000 of them former political prisoners, at Ashraf 3, in Albania, home of the exiled People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (MEK).
“I’ve traveled more than 5,000 miles from my home in Indiana to be here today because we share one common cause: the liberation of the Iranian people from decades of tyranny,” said Pence. “The American people support your goal of establishing a secular, democratic, non-nuclear Iranian republic that derives its powers from the consent of the governed.”
Pence also expressed support for the ongoing anti-government protests that have erupted across Iran in recent weeks.
